After sitting for a day, you decide to turn on the Dawn System.

To open the Dawn system, you first need to construct a reasonable [two-dimensional] world.

"I must enter the Dawn System and repeatedly start the simulation alone to measure the reasonable initial values ​​of the [two-dimensional] world. In this way, when the [two-dimensional] world truly opens, all humans can

Step into a "most reasonable" [two-dimensional] world."

Lin Guang, your most trusted companion, explained what you were going to do. "I understand, it's like trial and error." Lin Guang said.

"Yes, I need to obtain the most appropriate initial value for the [two-dimensional] world." You said. "Let's get started, I will accompany you." Lin Guang sat next to you.

You store your consciousness in the Dawn System, the time you feel is infinitely magnified, and you start the simulation.

For example, how high the temperature is needed to maximize life. For example, how high the sun is needed to allow plants to grow the fastest.

This requires you to spend several years or even decades in the virtual world.

The eighty-ninth simulation is completed and you exit the Dawn System. Through many simulations, you have measured the initial environment values ​​needed for the [two-dimensional] world. Next, there are plant values\animal values\city values...

You have to match them up with the real world.

When the [two-dimensional] is officially opened, human beings will be able to enter the new life most adaptably. "You're back? I made you tea." Lin Guang was always sitting next to you.

"How long has reality passed?" You drank his tea. "Ten minutes." Linguang said.

"Well...I have been in the Dawn System for twelve years." You said. Lin Guang said nothing.

He just looked at you quietly, his eyes like stretched moonlight. Even a thousand words can't explain the heaviness. Five seconds later, he hugged you. The hug was trembling to the extreme, like an oath of faith.

At this moment, you suddenly felt your nose was sore. You patted his back, unable to escape from his trembling.

"Okay, okay..." you whispered.

He is always silent and never leaves you, like a knight holding a bloody sword. You embark on a journey that will not tire you.

District 11. Freedom Alliance. Trial Hall. Hope City. Antofa City... You have constructed the prototypes of many forces in this fictional world and arranged their locations and buildings.

You have visited every corner and measured every inch of land with your feet.

The [two-dimensional] world you constructed is becoming more and more perfect. You believe that after the Dawn System is officially launched, humans will be able to persist in this pure land for a long time.

After the 278th simulation, when you exited the Dawn System, your consciousness fell into a trance. At that moment, you almost forgot who you were.

You suddenly become alert.

The human soul has life span, even if your body is still young.

The length of time you have experienced has begun to exceed your endurance - your soul begins to wear away, your consciousness begins to blur, and your wisdom begins to deteriorate.

In one simulation, you slept for several days. Sometimes, you would forget how to chew food and needed nutrient solution to survive. Sometimes, you would even forget how to speak and pronounce words... You were like a patient suffering from

Young people with Alzheimer's disease.

"Who are you?" After a simulation, you stared at Lin Guang in a daze. He was stunned for a moment, then squeezed your hand: "I am Lin Guang." You nodded.

After a moment, you said: "Who am I?" "You are Asa Akto." You nodded.

After a moment, you said again: "Who am I?"

"You are Asa Akto." Linguang repeated patiently, awakening your worn-out memory.

"I am Asa Akto." You smiled, like a silly baby: "Why do you look so sad? Come on, smile, Lin Guang."

After a while, you said again: "...Hey, who am I?"

You don't understand why Lin Guang looks at you with such pain. Your spirit is on the verge of breaking like a sand tower, like a dehydrated fish.

After taking the medicine, you came back to your senses and realized that you had just suffered from amnesia. You could hardly escape from your fear.

One day, you look in the mirror

I feel like I look so strange in the mirror. What is that thing in my gray eyes... what is it?

Is it the haze on the battlefield? Is it the fine black powder?

Or is it the ashes of the deceased that you held in your own hands and finally fell into your eyes?

Are these silent colors turning your eyes dark gray, or is this their original color?

[I remember that I used to like philosophy and exploration so much.][But now, I can’t even look at it.][——Why?]

[My appearance has never aged, but my soul has entered its twilight years?]

"Teacher, can we give up? Come with me on a long voyage." One day, Tredia raised her head, her red lips were like a ball of fire, and she begged you to leave.

Her clear eyes seem to be interrogating you - is it worth it?

"I'm sorry." You said: "I can't. I have to bring humans into [two dimensions]." Tretia could only sigh when she heard this. She gave you a bronze pocket watch with a gold chain.

In the simulation, after feeling vague about time, you will use it to measure time. It is your anchor point, reminds you of who you are, and reminds you that there is a person named Tredia waiting for you. .

You have reached the pinnacle of research in the three fields of mechanics, biochemistry, and artificial intelligence. People have begun to respect you as a true god.

But this is not enough.

"The [two-dimensional] world is not perfect yet. We must continue to simulate it and make up for every loophole..." You gritted your teeth.

When you can no longer hold on, your companions begin to accompany you. "Take us together to participate in the simulation." They said: "If you forget how to eat, I will feed you."

"If you forget how to speak, I will teach you how to speak."

"If you get Alzheimer's, we will raise you like a child." "If you forget who we are... we will reconnect with you."

"You don't have to bear the pain of an entire civilization. Asa Actor. You are a human being, not a god."

Kai handed you the candy, Tredia gave you a hug, Beilisel made a medicinal soup for you, Linguang gave you a flute song, Xi gave you a Luozi, Rongyuan gave you He swore to protect mankind for the rest of his life.

You laughed out loud. You like to hear people say you are not a god. "I want to do something for them."

"Even a little bit is good."

This is the 244th day of the war. Starting from the 293rd simulation, every time you enter the Dawn system, a companion will accompany you.

You and this companion will walk through this desolate [two-dimensional] world together to complete this simulated mission.

But in the end, it turned out that they couldn't hold on before you did. For them, the long time is enough to drive them crazy.

The first person to go crazy was Tredia. She looked like an old lady suffering from Alzheimer's disease, but her face was obviously young...

"Who am I?" she repeated: "Teacher, I love you, who am I?"

You save her brain and enter it into the Dawn System. I hope she can be reborn after the [two-dimensional] world officially opens.

The second one who couldn't hold on was Qi.

According to his last wish, you killed him with your own hands. Qi was unwilling to live in the [two dimensions] in the future as a program, so you respected him.

Before he died, he gave you the candy jar he carefully stored and asked you to eat one every day and don't forget to be happy.

You promised him. You can't be happy at all. (5/9)

After both of them died, you will be accompanied by Beilisel.

During the long simulation, Beilisel began to talk in his sleep, have dreams, and hallucinate.

"It's so cold... Akto." Beilisel hugged you tightly: "Am I dreaming again? Don't die, okay..."

Your vision begins to waver, and you ask to save something.

The human heart can only tolerate a certain degree of despair. The sponge has absorbed enough water. Even if the ocean flows over it, it cannot add another drop of water to it.

His expression made you feel like he was about to cry. You really wanted them to stop accompanying you and just continue to lead the war in reality. But they refused. They didn't want you to be alone in the Dawn System. Repeatedly

Simulation, after all you have already developed symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

But you know that you are mortal, and opening the Dawn System requires your life.

It’s hard for you to imagine what kind of madness people will fall into once you die. So you buried many administrator accounts in the [two-dimensional] world and copied your knowledge and body. In this way, there will be a steady stream of people in the future. The "Actor" appears.

"Beilisel, even if I am not here, you must live." Your eyes trembled.

"No, I will wait for you." Beilisel whispered: "If you disappear one day, I will find a safe place and wait for you forever... until you appear in front of me."

"Don't be like this," you said.

It happened that you walked to a valley, which contained beautiful spring. The white-haired boy stood among the flowers and smiled at you. His smile was innocent and cruel:

"Asa, what do you think of this valley?" "If one day you disappear." "I will wait for you in this valley, forever and ever..."

"You must remember this. Remember that there is a man named Beilisel here waiting for you to come back..." You didn't speak. You just smiled at him silently, turned around, and bit the corner of your mouth to bleed.

[I don’t know who else will leave me.]

[If people want to continue their lives by the death of their companions, I would rather choose to bear it alone. As long as the only one hurt is myself, I won’t feel sad anymore.]

[Otherwise, I always feel like my heart is clutching something, and it’s so depressing that it makes me go crazy.]

[Too many tragedies have happened here. I thought that as long as I had enough people around me, I wouldn’t feel lonely.]

[I seem to be just a heavy shadow, burdened with indescribable unwillingness.] [Every minute, every second, is unforgettable.] [If there are cages everywhere, what's the use of escaping?]

[…don’t.][I don’t want.]

While you're constantly simulating, you're also leading a real-world war.
To be continued...
